Prepare for VSS Shadow Copies

The amount of disk space you must allow for shadow copies depends on how often an application writes file changes and how much information is written. For example, if an application rewrites the entire file when the file is modified, changes to the application require much more shadow copy disk space than if the application wrote only the changed data.

Determine how much space is needed for the shadow copies and verify that the space is available.
